PORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) - Portland Fire & Rescue is investigating an early morning house fire in the West Hills.

Just before 1 a.m., on Wednesday, crews were called out to a house fire on Southwest Hillsboro. First crews on scene found a three-story home with fire showing through the roof.

PF&R said the fire was difficult to put out because the home is on a steep hill. There were small fires on both the interior and exterior of the home that took a bit of time to finally extinguish.

Crews were able to extinguish the fire within 45 minutes.
